Patients who develop a new or a recurrent ischemic stroke while taking aspirin, sometimes labeled as aspirin failures, represent a considerable proportion of stroke hospital admissions. In the United States alone, almost 185,000 recurrent strokes occur each year, and approximately one-third to one-half of them develop while on antiplatelet therapy.1
